Ethical dilemmas and decision-making are a persistent feature of
the everyday operations of animal shelters and animal protection
organizations. These organizations frequently face difficult
decisions about how to treat the animals in their care, decisions
that are made all the more difficult by limited funding, material
resources, and human labor. Moreover, animal protection
organizations must also determine how to act within and toward the
wider social and institutional environment in which non-human
animals are routinely exploited. The first section of The Ethics of
Animal Shelters contains practical recommendations developed by
ethicists in response to the ethical challenges identified by
employees of the Montreal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. These challenges arise across the organization's
activities, including its internal structure; shelter operations;
public campaigns and advocacy work; dealing with the public, animal
agriculture and governmental agencies; and their work with feral
animals. The second section offers philosophical analyses of the
ethical challenges unique to animal shelters. Issues explored
include the killing of shelter animals; shelter animals' diets;
medical decision-making procedures; adoption policies; and the role
shelters might play in transforming social attitudes and norms.
